<p>My parents are artists: a successful theater director and a writer. Unlike all their classmates who went on to become corporate zombies, my parents followed their passions: my mom’s theater company performs in prisons and homeless shelters rather than in front of paying audiences, and she changes peoples’ lives every day. They both work extremely hard, but they have chosen lives that are more about being happy than being rich. </p>
<p>Get a life, ParentOfIvyHope (seriously, 1000 posts? You’re an adult who’s supposedly working way harder than my parents), and sort out your priorities.</p>
